Parke H. Davis '93, the famous historian and statistician of football, on Saturday evening after watching Princeton "leave old Eli trailing in the dust," remarked: "Don't get the idea into your head that Princeton defeated Yale today because the Blue team was weak.

In defeating Harvard, they have their only possible way of making their season a success, and the weight strength and savageness of a cornered Yale team is not to be underrated. There is not one of us who knows the inside workings of the game but realizes that we have got the toughest game of the season...
